Nuka Cup Tournament Schedule Set
For the fifth-straight season, the CBO's Nuka Cup Tournament is set to begin later this month. Originally known as the Battle Tournament, the Nuka Cup Tournament was officially named in 2300.
This year, the tournament will again follow its model with the top four teams from 2303 playoffs--the Roxbury Rad Sox, Fort Hagen Silver Shroud, University Point Deathclaws, and Concord Radstags--hosting the tournaments with an even split of three North Charles Association and three South Charles Association teams playing at each host site.
The tournament will run from February 29 until March 25 with a final team emerging from a three-game set in the end. One team from each host site will emerge in the semifinals and then a finals round winner-take-all with the victors of the Roxbury-Concord winners taking on the Fort-Hagen-University Point winners.
The 6-team portion is a double elimination round with the team winning the final series winning the host site. The semifinals and finals will again be played at the Great Green Jewel in Diamond City.
The following are the participants at each host site, listed by seed based on their 2303 records and finishes in their associations:
Roxbury: 1. Roxbury, 2. Nordhagen Beach, 3. FHE, 4. Starlight, 5. Quincy, 6. The Slog
Fort Hagen: 1. Fort Hagen, 2. Diamond City, 3. Sunshine Tidings, 4. Jamaica Plain, 5. Salem, 6. Spectacle Island
University Point: 1. University Point, 2. County Crossing, 3. Vault 81, 4. Easy Town, 5. Oberland, 6. Abernathy
Concord: 1. Concord, 2. Atom, 3. Lexington, 4. Goodneighbor, 5. Finch Farm, 6. Egret
The first three-game set from February 29 through March 2 will be the #3 vs #6 and #4 vs #5 seeds. The #1 and #2 seeds will play winners from that round on March 3-5. All three-game series are best of three with the winner winning two or three games to advance and all three games being played unless canceled by radstorm or other interference.
